G'day,

Nads from Australia here. I've been playing Guitar for a long time (25 years), but still consider my self a beginner in the sense that I can play most chords and a few simple guitar solos, but have a very small repertoire, and I've only started wanting to get good recently. My biggest problem is remembering the songs I've learnt… as I don't get a lot of time to play/practice (small family syndrome). But with a bit of notice, I can contribute to main stream stuff.

I can play some basic bass guitar, and have recently acquired a drum kit, which I'm really keen to improving on.

My dream has always been to record multi-track covers of songs that I love (literally for the fun of making music). I'm on here because a mate of mine (who plays <cough>cello</cough> ) are looking for ways to collaborate, and I'd love to have the odd jam with people in a similar situation and similar level. Below is a very rough example of me on guitar, drums and bass (including 2 guitar tracks) on audacity. I need to add another 2 guitar tracks (+ vocals) and my mates cello. but this is about my level with some practice.

Hope to catch you on the ether some time.

welcome!!! nice track! but better forget about covers on jammr. you are here to learn how to jam. if you can join the public jam sessions (https://forum.jammr.net/6/ look here for schedules) soon you will receive many hours of your recordings (look at your e-mail) and you can choose your best performances! surely there are jams based on famous songs but very far from original tracks (sending copyrighted materials is prohibited here). if you forgot the line of the song there's no problem, just improvise or play chords!

Thanks adi 👍🏾

I can live with that… And I wasn't meaning recording covers on jammr… That's my own personal thing I do in my make-shift home studio. But something I would be interested in doing (after I've had a few goes on here) is seeing if there are a few people with a similar taste in music, who'd like to jam to a short song list.

Can u elaborate? Does this mean we can't play covers if we wanted to, or I shouldn't have posted a link to my dodgy recording 😉

Either way, I'm looking forward to having a go! The concept is very interesting, whatever the boundaries.

Thanks again for the welcome!

Nads.

my time here was great from my point of view but i noticed that all jammr users that attempted to make a band failed (in my opinion). so why don't you try your vision too? now i try to practice a bit more offline because i am a beginner and i hope to make a better insertion in the jams in near future. regular users are also advanced musicians much better than i am but they kindly support any jammer…

i am not a law specialist… so please read more here: https://jammr.net/terms.html

by the way i use a lot of open source software so i just look for issues that already are in public domain and they are plenty. otherwise a lawyer advice is better if you try to get legal with a song…

Hi Nadsy,
jammr is not collaborative recording software. You can find recording software or plugins that let you collaborate over the internet. That will allow you to record together.
